It seems that Hollywood is starting to catch on to what many viewers already know: Some of the best shows on TV are not on a network; they're streaming over your internet connection. Shows such as House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black from Netflix have been capturing people's imagination for years, although major awards have often eluded them. But in the first months of 2015, one announcement after another pointed toward a sort of streaming content renaissance.

Ebooks have long been accused of cannibalizing publishers' other sales. While those ebooks have started flying off the shelves (or over the internet) those same publishers have struggled to figure out how to make the new-fangled digital books profitable. Now HarperCollins UK's CEO Victoria Barnsley says that, within the next 18 months, half her company's fiction sales will come from ebooks.

According to The Bookseller, Barnsley told the Observer that with a 250% year-over-year growth in the ebooks sector, it won't take long for digital sales to reach that half-way mark.
